Once stopped, the driver told police he was stabbed multiple times in the chest and hands.

Newman allegedly said he also had a gun and demanded money, however authorities don't know if any cash was taken.

Police say Newman ran from the scene after the driver disarmed him.

He was arrested a short time later on Tower Avenue.

"Knives are dangerous. This was an upper chest, probably hit the clavacle, or something that stopped it I mean it's not far from a little more sensitive areas that could have resulted in much more significant injuries. I mean it was obviously a very dangerous and life threatening even," said Deputy Chief Nicholas Alexander with the Superior Police Department.

Charges against Newman include Attempted Murder and Armed Robbery.

If found guilty, he could face up to 55 years in prison on both charges.
